I wonder if people who want to get on at AA are ignoring the us side? It would be silly not to try your damnedest to get on at both. The interview on the us side is probably the easiest interview you'll ever have vs. the astronaut medical at aa.

I think most of os US/AA applicants would agree that it's US who is ignoring us. Personally, I've had my app in for over a year (4 app windows), have attended two job fairs, etc, etc... Their process is completely random (literally) and other than applying, there is nothing anyone can do to better their chances of being called for an interview at US.

In Re hiring/training at the 'New' AAL... The pipeline at the flight academy (school house) is backed up.
I offer two items of evidence:
1) Pilots flushed out of STL, with Jan 2014 effective DFW CA -80 bids have not yet been scheduled for training. This training has routinely preceded the effective date.
2) Just had an Eagle flowbee on the jumpseat who completed Indoc in late November and was (accordingly to him) sent home due to lack of (sim) training assets. Issued his iPAD and sent home to study. He was just notified that he resumes training early January. 5-6 weeks of paid time off.
I've read here about the combat going on within the training command of the combined New AAL. Couldn't this be a symptom in support of the rumor?
Disfunction damages production.
Thoughts?

The video portion, the face to face portion, the testing, and i think they still do a sim. Now the Airways interview isn't a joke don't get me wrong but it's got very basic technical (brief this approach plate) and lots of TMAT questions. If you do a service like Emerald Coast then the interview is very very easy.
I think the hardest part about it is actually getting called in for one. Back when I applied the AA merger was minor rumor so people sort of thumbed their noses at coming here. I think that's why It wasn't as hard to get a call as it is now. I'm betting 30-40% of the apps they have on file were submitted because of the merger.
